History of Time Capsules
Ancient civilizations buried foundation deposits with tools and inscriptions.
The modern term "time capsule" started at the 1939 New York World's Fair.
The Westinghouse Time Capsule contained everyday items and a microscope.
Today, birthday time capsules preserve personal memories for future milestones.
Parents seal capsules when a child is born, opened on 18th birthday.
Golden birthday capsules connect your age to your birth day number.
Without a planned date, most capsules are lost or forgotten.
